Favorite Christmas Memory
My favorite Christmas memory was a few years ago I gave my 4 boys (all in their 20's)
matching Christmas boxers and a script for a Christmas rap song I'd written about the 4 of them. They had to perform outside in their boxers and work boots ... no shirt ... Christmas Day! It was a ball!!!

Blog postDialogue can make or break your story.
How many times have you read a book where the characters didn't "sound" right? Could you identify why?
Here are some common pitfalls we see regularly:
Lack of contractions. Very rarely do we encounter folks who don't use contractions. They're a common way of speaking. It's okay to include one character who doesn't use contractions in their speech - that could be one way to identify that particular character w1 year ago Read more -
Blog postMost of my fiction - novels, short stories, and screenplays - start with location, because places intrigue and inspire me.
One question I encounter often is: should I set my story somewhere real, or create a fictional story world?
The best answer for that question is: It depends.
If you write sci-fi or fantasy, most likely your story world will be fictional and you will need to create it from top to bottom, inside and out.

Blog postWhen it comes to marketing your books, think outside the box. Yes, everyone does bookmarks, websites, business cards, but what is unique about your book that you could use to draw attention?
For fiction writers, draw on your characters' personalities, hobbies, hometown, occupation, or idiosyncrasies to create a contest or marketing memes.

Blog postAlthough writing is a solitary profession for the most part, when you get ready to market your book, you need a team. This team, sometimes referred to as a street team or a tribe,
serves as your immediate marketing team - they help get the word out about your book.
A team can be as simple as a small group of family or friends who tell others about your book, or as complex as an entire network of people (some may be acquaintances or even strangers) who promote your book for re1 year ago Read more -
Blog postWe asked FB and Twitter friends to send us questions about marketing so we could provide some answers. Questions and answers are below.
Why do authors have to do the marketing? Why don't publishers do it for them? ~ from Phee Paradise and Grace Brooks
Marketing is a cost that larger publishers once absorbed and recouped with book sales, but now is mostly obsolete. If an author has a huge platform (celebrity or public figure status), the publisher will likely send the author on tour o1 year ago Read more -
Blog postWriters fall into one of those frustrating "Catch-22" situations with their books: the big publishing companies require authors to have a platform before they'll offer a contract, but it's hard for authors to build a platform without the book.
Thankfully, small presses and self-publishing companies usually don't have a platform requirement, but one is still necessary.
What exactly is a platform? And why is one needed?

Writers, who do you write for?
I know some writers who say they write for themselves. This post isn't for those writers.

Blog postMy favorite books over time all have a distinct author voice, and I'm sure yours do, too. But what exactly is author voice?
Let's compare books. If you're not familiar with some on my list, think of your favorite books and compare them with each other to discover the author voice in each one.

Blog postOne of the steps writers take before sending a manuscript to an editor or publisher is the final read-through. Here's a quick list of things to check before you hit 'send':
Spacing - check for both line spacing and word spacing.Word spacing: If you've used double spacing after sentences, get rid of those. In today's computer world, double spacing is a no-no.

Blog postWhen new writers approach me about publishing their nonfiction books, or hire me to coach them as they write their book, the first thing I want to know is how their book will benefit the reader. What's the takeaway?
